Comments on: I’m not very pleased at all that I neglected to record just where in London this deadline was. Hopefully someone viewing this will clue me in. The crazy thing is, I DID record all the numbers:o) And so, here we go, front to back: CN 8059, 8233, 8211, 8206, 8212, 8225, 8168, 8185, 8190, 8031, 8027, 8207. 8213, 8209, 8215, 8043, 8058 and 8039. Eighteen fallen soldiers.

A fence can’t keep Arnold Mooney out…

I can’t remember what is on the other side…but I keep thinking it was a truck compound…….but I’m sure I will get corrected. If I knew exactly what it was, I probably could have pin-pointed the location.

Not sure where the picture is taken but I know CN had a reclamation yard just east of the yard near Frauts . I remember seeing a Turbo train being cut up there

Thanks James. Oddly enough I was hoping you were still ‘lurking’ on RP because I remembered some earlier photos you posted and figured you might have the answer I was looking for.:o)

In 1983 there were 3 small scrap lines near the London CN roundhouse and your picture is not taken in that area so I went back to my London childhood RY memories. As a young teenager in the mid 1950′s I remember seeing lines of CN steam locomotives being stored in the yard just north Silverwood Park so there is no reason why CN would not use the same yard for storing the old diesels. Your picture appears to be on the north side of that London east yard. Great picture!

One of those pictures, like a traffic accident,from which you can’t look away.
